A startling video has surfaced capturing an alleged hit-and-run incident on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where a man reportedly collided with a teenager on an e-bike in the presence of two off-duty police officers.

The incident involved a 15-year-old boy who was allegedly hit by a Volkswagen SUV around 4:30 p.m. at the junction of Abbott and Pitt roads in North Curl Curl.

According to police reports, the sequence of events began when the 38-year-old driver of the SUV purportedly made an inappropriate gesture at a group of teenage e-bike riders before speeding away.

In response, the teenagers pursued the vehicle, leading to a confrontation between one of them and the driver.

Amid the heated exchange, the driver allegedly hurled a water bottle at the teenager before departing the scene.

The teenager then attempted to return the water bottle by throwing it back at the vehicle, although it failed to make contact.

The teenager continued following the car before blocking it at the intersection.

The driver is accused of hitting the teenager with his vehicle, causing the boy to be thrown from the e-bike.

As the camera moves, it reveals the 15-year-old boy who had allegedly been struck.

“He ran me over,” the alleged victim can be heard saying.

“He ran straight over me.”

Two nearby off-duty police officers and other onlookers told the driver to stop, but he allegedly ignored them and drove off.

“It’s just a shocking thing to happen in a quiet street like this, especially involving a young kid on a bike,” a resident told 9News.

Paramedics were called and a rescue helicopter was put on standby as a precaution.

The 15-year-old boy was treated for serious leg injuries before being taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Police launched an investigation. The 38-year-old man handed himself in at Dee Why, before being transferred to Manly Police Station.

He was charged with driving furiously in a motor vehicle, causing bodily harm, negligent driving and driving while a licence application has been refused.

The man was granted strict conditional bail and is scheduled to appear in court next month.

NSW Premier Chris Minns said today he was “particularly worried” about how e-bikes were overtaking footpaths and roads.

“They’re getting in the way of citizens, particularly pedestrians,” Minns said.
